Playdead promised you a Mac OS release of its charming (but grim!) indie platformer, Limbo, by "the end of the year," and while we're not quite ready to call it a Christmas miracle the Danish developer has delivered on its promise. Limbo is live in the Mac App Store today, with a $9.99 sticker price accompanying the 83 MB download.
Waiting for the Steam release, so you can take advantage of the cross-platform SteamPlay feature? Playdead's Dino Patti tells Joystiq that Limbo will be available on Steam on January 13th, a little over three weeks from today. But if that's too long to wait and/or you don't want to drop cheddar on the Mac App Store release, we think we've got a solution: Patti gave us a handful of codes to share with you all, which we'll be dropping onto Facebook and Twitter sometime today.

1. Buy LIMBO on Steam sale now (if it isn't cheap enough now, wait until a daily, it will be on one)
2. Wait less than a month
3. ????
4. Profit! (in the sense that you get an awesome game without having to shell out like 4x as much!)
On a side note, LIMBO is awesome.

LIMBO. Awesome, but short. Could they make it for iPad?

Anyone know of a way you can control games on iPhone/iPad with a real controller without jailbreak?

@xFenixKnightx So far only games that support outside controllers (like icade) can do that and onlive service will use its own xboxish controller.
You could use the apparently great suction cup joysticks called flingsticks for everything else.

Seriously, I've been playing this since it went on sale last week and now I too am curious what they are talking about in regards to Steam?!

Its inevitable I will have a handful of iTunes gift cards post-Christmas, so i'll probably get this from the App Store. Steam support would be cool though. :/
